Cards

Term
ovotestis
Definition
primitive gonad
Term
mesonephric tube
Definition
wolffian duct
Term
paramesonephric tube
Definition
mullerian duct
Term
urethral primordia
Definition
paraurethral glands
Term
urogenital tubercle, slit
Definition
external genitals
Term
brain
Definition
sexually dimorphic nucleus of the hypothalamus
SDN
Term
SRY gene
Definition
Y chromosome
rare if on the X
medulla of ovotestis develops into testis
Term
Absence of SRY or Y
Definition
cortex of ovotestis develops into ovary
autosomes alone complete development of ovary
Term
week 8-12 PF
Definition
internal ducts differentiate
male= MIS, androgens (testosterone, DHT)
females= FNBP, no hormones, wolffian tubes dissapear, mullerian tubes develop
Term
MIS
Definition
Mullerian inhibiting substance
suppresses development of Mullerian structures
seen in makes during week 8-10 PF
Term
FNBP
Definition
fetonatal binding protein
prevents hormones from altering dimorphic tissue
Term
Mullerian tubes
Definition
in absence of MIS develop into uterus, oviducts, upper vagina under direction of autosomes
Term
week 12-14 PF
Definition
genitalia and glands differentiate
Term
DHT
MALE external development
Definition
dihydrotestosterone is secreted from testes
forms penis and scrotal sac
DHT differentiates paraurethral glands into prostate and Cowper's gland
Term
Female external development
Definition
absence of hormones and direction of autosomes
vaginal introitus, clitoris, labia result
paraurethral glands develop into Skene's and Bartholin's gland
Term
Male Brain
Definition
estradiol (formed from testosterone) suppresses the potential for cyclic hormone production by altering the hypothalamic SDN
potential for menstrual cycle is lost
Term
female brain
Definition
the brain is protected from estrogens by FNBP
the potential for cycling hormone production remains
potential for menstrual cycle is retained
Term
Androgens on puberty
Definition
growth of external genitalia (enlargement of testes, penis, clitoris, labia)

Estrogens on puberty
Definition
development of breasts and buttocks
mullerian duct development (uterus, vagina, oviducts)
stimulation of vaginal secretions
increased skin softness and elasticity
subcutaneous fat development
calcification of bone
inhibition of long bone growth
stimulation of pubic bone growth
metabolism
mood stabilization
ova development
Term
how androgens and estrogens effect
Definition
they effect by interacting with the genetic code for each trait
the presence of the hormone modulates gene potential
Term
early puberty
Definition
both males and females may experience the effects of estrogens and androgens
Term
Adrenogenital Syndrome (AGS)
Progestin Syndrome
Definition
female genotype; male phenotype
excess steroid usually occurring after week 10 PF
either fetal adrenal gland malfunctions; overproduction of masculinizing hormones or
exogenous progestins- mother took masculinizing hormones during pregnancy
XX, ovaries
internal- female
external- male
cyclic hormone production
female puberty, ovulation will occur, pregnancy possible
usually grow up as females
but high case of tom-boys and lesbians
Term
Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
(AIS)
Definition
male genotype; female phenotype
genetic inability to respond to androgens
XY, testes
no internal structures
female external structures
no cycle
at puberty no reproducive functions, but looks like female
feminine females
Term
DHT-Deficiency Syndrome
Definition
male genotype; female phenotype
failure to secrete DHT during fetal development
XY, testes
male internal structures
female external structures
no cycle
during puberty- sperm, testes enlarge, clitoris enlarges into a penis, ejaculation occurs
androgenic masculanization
female growing up, male after puberty
Dominican Republic, Papua New Guinea, Turkey, Brazil- mostly masculine
U.S.- mostly feminine
Term
biologically congruent male
Definition
all biologic traits are congruent with male genetic sex
Term
biologically congruent female
Definition
all biologic traits are congruent with female genetic sex
Term
intersex
Definition
female genotype, male phenotype (xx,penis)
male genotype, female phenotype (xy,clitoris)
Term
core gender identity
Definition
subjective sense of one's own masculinity, femininity, androgyny
Term
gender role
Definition
sum of all behaviors a person engages in to indicate to others one's identity as male, female, intersex
Term
dichotomy
Definition
two mutually exclusive categories; masculine, feminine
Term
continuum
Definition
masculinity and femininity are found at the opposite poles of a continuum with androgyny as midpoint
Term
vectors
Definition
two continua produce 4 quadrants: androgyny, masculinity, femininity, undifferentiated
Term
gender subcultures
Definition
gender bender, gender blender, gender outlaw, gender-free
Term
biological theory of gender
Definition
genes, hormones imprint the brain creating the predisposition for certain behaviors
Term
social-learning theory of gender
Definition
differential reinforcement and punishment of behavior
Term
cognitive theory of gender
Definition
child forms concepts of masculinity and femininity that motivate imitation of behavior
Term
sex type gender
Definition
biologic sex is ego-syntonic
sex type male
sex type female
Term
sex type male
Definition
biologic male with male core gender identity who expresses stereotypical masculine gendered behavioral traits exclusively
Term
sex type female
Definition
biologic female with female core gender identity who expresses stereotypical feminine gendered behavioral traits exclusively
Term
